Great leaders accomplish more by doing less—protecting margin, fully leveraging their unique strengths, and keeping the vision in front of their teams. In this episode, Andy Stanley and Jason Jaggard discuss why focus is a leadership discipline, not a personality trait. When leaders stop trying to do everything and instead focus on the work only they can do, the organization grows, the team gains clarity, and momentum accelerates. This episode explores the habits that keep leaders out of the weeds, thinking strategically, and empowering others to lead.
